Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 412 - 226: Cuba: Fight for Territory? Better to Take Wang Xiu! (7200 words)_1

Chapter 412: Chapter 226: Cuba: Fight for Territory? Better to Take Wang Xiu! (7200 words)_1

The Communication Token in front of Wang Xiu buzzed with increasing frequency. A large number of people were privately messaging him, all willing to pay a high price for accurate information.

As Wang Xiu consistently refused to reply, they kept sending messages, growing more and more anxious. The Demonic Path had already plunged into chaos. Everyone wanted firsthand information so they could make their plans. The powerful figures at the top had offered unimaginably generous rewards.

It was said that whoever could bring Wang Xiu’s head would be rewarded with a one-time True Demon Blood Baptism. This ritual could transform them completely, giving them a chance to obtain the True Demon Bloodline and soar to the skies. It was well-known that an adult with a True Demon Bloodline was comparable to the greatest powerhouses of the Human Race, no weaker than an Earth Immortal. It was a metamorphosis on the very level of life itself, with staggering benefits.

Finally, Wang Xiu replied unhurriedly, "I’ve changed my mind. The previous terms are not enough! You’ll have to up the price!"

"Don’t be too greedy!"

"Materials capable of refining an Earth Immortal Instrument aren’t enough? The Essence Blood of a Pureblood Divine Beast Descendant isn’t enough? What more could you possibly want? Don’t tell me you want an Earth Immortal Instrument itself?"

"The previous terms were our absolute limit! Don’t think your intelligence is so special that we can’t get it elsewhere!"

The demons were furious. This guy was actually raising the price at the last minute? Did he take them for fools?

Wang Xiu responded directly in the group chat, "There are still a few days before the Saint Heir of Sanqing descends from the mountain. There’s no rush, you all can take your time to consider it! I can only tell you this: for each day that passes, my price will increase by another ten percent..."

After sending that message, Wang Xiu paid no mind to the uproar it caused. He simply closed the group chat and went offline.

Then, using the Communication Token of another Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, he logged back into the group chat to observe the developments.

Sixth Elder of the Black Heaven Sect: "Don’t go too far! It’s wise to leave some goodwill for the future."

Thirteenth Elder of the Gambling Heaven Pavilion: "Even if we give you the items, can you hold on to them? A man must know his own limits!"

Eighth Elder of the Profound Nether Sect: "He’s gone offline!"

Sixth Elder of the Black Heaven Sect: "Damn it, does he really think he has us cornered?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Wang Xiu had only said he was raising the price from the original terms, but he hadn’t specified by how much. This was the most frightening part. A demand left unstated was often far more terrifying than one laid bare on the table, as it could very well be a price they could not afford.

Thirteenth Elder of the Gambling Heaven Pavilion: "But for now, he’s the only one with the intelligence, and from what we can tell, it’s accurate!"

Sixth Elder of the Black Heaven Sect: "I still feel that this whole affair is fishy. The route of the Saint Heir of Sanqing should be a top secret. How could someone else have gotten their hands on it? Could this be a trap set by the Righteous Path?"

Thirteenth Elder of the Gambling Heaven Pavilion: "Of course, that’s a possibility. Even if we do trade, we must verify his identity. Otherwise, we might die without ever knowing how!"

Eighth Elder of the Profound Nether Sect: "Are you planning to trade, then?"

Thirteenth Elder of the Gambling Heaven Pavilion: "How could I? In my entire life, I have hated nothing more than being threatened. This kid is mad with greed. When the time comes, he might have the fortune, but he won’t have a life to spend it!"

[DING!]

[Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations, Host! You have gained Mana +233!]

Sixth Elder of the Black Heaven Sect: "Exactly. I never make deals with people like that. Let’s all maintain a united front; no one contact him. He wants to jack up the price? Fine, we’ll let his information rot in his hands. Once he gets desperate, he’ll be the one crawling back to us!"

[DING!]

[Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations, Host! You have gained Mana +255!]

An Elder of the White Bone Sect: "I support this! I may not be a good person, but I am a demon with principles. I refuse such blatant price-gouging!"

[DING!]

[Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations, Host! You have gained Mana +233!]

Ninth Elder of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate: "Same here! I won’t indulge his foul habits!"

[DING!]

[Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations, Host! You have gained Mana +266!]

Listening to the string of system notifications, Wang Xiu’s expression turned peculiar.

He subconsciously took out the Communication Token he had used before and opened it. Just as he’d expected, a flood of private messages had already been sent to him.

Sixth Elder of the Black Heaven Sect: "Brother, I was too presumptuous before. I accept the conditions, but you must promise me... you cannot sell the information to anyone else!"

Thirteenth Elder of the Gambling Heaven Pavilion: "I could see at a glance that you are no ordinary man. I accept these terms. Think of it as my way of making a friend. However, the trade must be done in person!"

Ninth Elder of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate: "Brother, what do you think? Is this a sufficient show of my sincerity?"

Accompanying the messages were images displaying lists of rare and valuable treasures. None of them were common items; each one was exceptionally rare. But Wang Xiu could see at a glance that these demonic lords were cunning and deceitful, merely playing games with him.

The so-called "materials for an Earth Immortal Instrument" didn’t necessarily mean core components. They were offering items that, while usable in the forging process, were more akin to supplementary materials used for refining ordinary Holy Artifacts. They were using these to pad out the offer.

Wang Xiu simply replied, "Not enough!"

Not only was it not enough, but he would also never agree to sell the information exclusively to one party. It was a competition. The prize would go to whoever first met his price and obtained the accurate information from him. He would not accept any gag orders.

The various parties raised their offers again. The quality of the items on offer went up a tier, a dazzling variety sufficient to make any Demon Cultivator’s mouth water.

Wang Xiu still replied, "Not enough!"

「Black Heaven Sect.」

In the grand hall.

"Well? Has he agreed?" The Sect Hierarch of the Black Heaven Sect sat upon his high throne, his gaze imperious and fierce. An imposing aura radiated from him, as if he were cloaked in endless night.

As one of the oldest top-tier powers of the Demonic Path, the Black Heaven Sect’s foundation was immeasurable. To become the Sect Hierarch, one’s strength not only had to reach the Saint Manifestation Realm, but their methods also had to be far beyond those of ordinary people.

"No, Sect Hierarch," the Sixth Elder replied from below, holding his Communication Token with a bitter expression. "He said it’s still not enough!"
